http://en.romereports.com The day of the Conclave is here. Cardinal electors will stay inside the Vatican until a new Pope is elected. Cardinals celebrated Mass to mark the pre-conclave period. This special Mass, known as the ‘Pro Eligendo Summo Pontifice’ took place in St. Peter’s Basilica, where thousands of pilgrims prayed for the future of the Church. The Mass was led by Cardinal Dean, Angelo Sodano. Applause followed when he thanked Benedict XVI.
